 Monday February 21, 2022 Elder McMullan didn't have time to email today since we talked to him.  He's doing fantastic!  Loving the work and handling AP duties just fine.  He did share this spiritual experience with me and also this picture of his district: "This week we had the opportunity to bring Ethan and Michel ( two recent converts) to the Temple!  We did baptism for the dead and it was a great experience.  The Temple is such a peaceful place.  I'd love to be in the Temple all day everyday if I could! There was a point during the baptisms where Michael and Ethan were baptizing each other. It was great to see that. This is what it's all about..., to get our friends onto the covenant path and into the Temple to do work for their ancestors.  The Spirit was strong during that time, and I know that this is the work of Jesus Christ and of His Father.  There's no better thing to be doing in life than following Jesus Christ and living the princ...

 Monday February 14, 2022 This week has been great! We had Zone Conference so we were busy as usual. We gave a training on how to teach simply and we're hoping the mission will be able to do that! We went on only 2 exchanges this week. They were great though! One was a full day and the other was just a few hours. Elder Bird and I are finding a bunch, but struggling to get return appointments so that's our biggest hurdle. But other than that missionary work is great! I love the people and there are some amazing dudes we've met recently!  For the spiritual experience this week it was when I was praying. I shared this story in my recent Facebook post describing how I felt the strength of the Lord. I was thinking about some things that I've done in my past and I was weighed down a bit. I'm definitely short of perfect, and I realized that and I wish I had done some things differently earlier in my life. So I wanted to get rid of these feelings and have joy restored to me...

Monday February 7, 2022 This week was a good week! This past week we went on 4 exchanges. One of them though was just an afternoon exchange. I went in Spanish for 1 one of the exchanges and the gift of tongues is so real haha. I haven't spoken Spanish in so long and it was pretty rough honestly, but I could pray and then testify to the words of my companion and that's all I need haha.  Honestly weeks just keep flying by, but I love being a missionary. I write down all my spiritual experiences everyday so that keeps the important stuff memorized. One of the spiritual experiences of the week was yesterday we had dinner with a nice family. We shared a message on the Restoration by showing the "Ask of God" video. (if you haven't seen that video I encourage you to watch it). The spirit is strong as you watch it, as it was last night. After the video they all shared how they came to know that Joseph Smith is a Prophet. It was cool to see how the Lord answers people acco...
